The Assistant Director of Operational Delivery & Professional Standards presented the report of the Director of Care and Health which detailed a new duty for the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to assess how Local Authorities were meeting their Adult Social Care duties in relation to the Part 1 of the Care Act 2014, and a new power for the Secretary of State to intervene where CQC considers a Local Authority to be failing to meet these duties. The report set out the development of Wirral’s Self-Assessment of how it provided Adult Social Care services, and followed on from a workshop held on 9 August 2023.

Resolved – That the report be noted.
